Top 10 Light Infantry Weapons of 2012, No one will ever agree on the order I don't think:

Top 10 Light Infantry Weapons of 2012

1. Heckler @ Koch HK416 (German)
2. Barrett REC7 M468 (US)
3. Heckler @ Koch XM8 (German)
4. FN SCAR (Belgium)
5. Bushmaster ACR Magpul Masada (US)
6. Heckler @ Koch G36K (German)
7. Colt M4 (US)
8. AK-103 (Russia)
9. Steyr AUG (Austria)
10. SIG 552 (Swiss)

I think the M468 is number 1

Pretty good list although AFAIK the XM8 project was ended by US a long time ago after the gun ran into some diff cuticles because of design flaws. Also the M4 is a GREAT weapon but the original design (M-16) is getting on for 60 years old now and isn't really a future weapon- most users of M4 are now looking for replacements (some replacing with weapons on the list).


Also I'd defeinelty have the Tavor series of weapons on any light infantry weapon list these days- lighter, more accurate, more reliable and more advanced than the M4 (it is intended to replace it so inherently it has design improvements).

This is getting good reviews. It look spacy tho

But looks like it may not last in the Field tho.

Sorry for being offtopic but AK 47 will rule the roost for years to come.

Looks good but, as vid said, looks like more of a law enforcement weapon not a military weapon. Doesn't look like it would be very rugid and I haven't heard of many/any military units adopting this weapon.

I think your right. Law Enforcement all the way
